Mon, 23 May 2011 12:08:11 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25979Only play with cat-lovers AFTER you have gotten rid of all their cats on your land. I already did that here, except for a couple more I recently spotted. The mindless neighbors are just that amazingly stupid, after losing over 40 of them (or maybe more than that, who knows, I lost count long ago) they go and get more cats. That’s how much they think about cats, they’re just that easily expendable to them. Their cat’s days are numbered, as were the ones before. And if you can’t understand that territory analogy no wonder you’re so amazingly stupid to think that infesting the countryside with diseased animals that kill all wildlife and even humans can in any way amount to something good for anyone. Putting a cat in the hands of someone like you is like putting a crate of anthrax in the hands of a terrorist. You have absolutely NO CONCEPT of the ecological disaster that you have caused and created, do you. YOU have now caused the cat blood-bath that must now take place. This is NOBODY’S FAULT BUT YOUR OWN.

I urge everyone who has taken even 15 minutes of their time in the last 10 years who has had to deal with cat-problem issues, to send a bill for your time and effort to your nearest feral-cat advocate. If everyone did this they’d never see the light of day again, bankrupting them all for centuries to come. I can easily charge all of them $160/hr. for 15 YEARS worth of my time and effort in my successful attempts to undo all the damage they have caused. Or maybe you should just send them a dead-cat? Put a maimed and mauled dead-cat on their doorstep every morning, to show them all what others have found every day–maimed and mauled dead animals on your lawns and property. Think they’ll get the hint? Make THEM disposes of their diseased cat-carcasses so they won’t infect any more wildlife.

Here’s a more well-written paragraph to explain what needs to be done now. (since editing much later is not allowed after posting)

And as for the rest of you? If you don’t want to die or have your wildlife die from a cat just defecating in your yard or garden, it’s time to shoot all cats on sight–everywhere. It’s the only way we’ll be able to get this problem under control now. Buy a rifle, go take a firearms education course, and start shooting. Wear gloves when disposing of the cat-carcasses, by incinerating them or burying them deeply enough so their remains won’t infect any more animals nor humans. Either that, or catch every one that you see until all your lands and neighborhoods are 100% free of any roaming cats. Then have them taken in to be tested and then disposed of. Or put under monitored quarantined living conditions where they’ll never again step foot outside, lest you have to catch them and repeat this process all over again. (And we all know what happens when cats are put back in the hands of cat-lovers, don’t we. We’re dealing with that problem right now.) It’s your time and money. Which way do you prefer to solve this massive ecological-disaster that all these sociopathically irresponsible and pathetically idiotic piece-of-s*** cat-lovers caused for the whole world?

Mon, 23 May 2011 07:28:12 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25978And REMEMBER …
Don’t ever bother wasting your time arguing with disrespectful, inconsiderate, and ignorant cat-HATERS either, as I stupidly tried to do too many times in the past.

What does inner city youth have to do w/what this is originally about? And for the record it’s not only the inner city kids listening to boom boxes. Wow, at the audacity to say the things you’ve said. Ditto on what Summer said. Off to write a letter to Garfield & Jon, they’ll be none to happy about this.

Sun, 22 May 2011 18:44:52 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25977Let’s call this all for what it really is…

Given the above information about cats harboring dangerous biological agents that are harmful to wildlife and humans (of which you all were previously aware), as well as the cats themselves being just as harmful if not more-so (this too of which you were all aware), and the information about your TRUE territorial motives (if you weren’t aware of it before, you most certainly are now); the fact that you want to infest public and private properties with these harmful biological agents means that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU CAN AND WILL eventually be held responsible for the crimes that you are committing against all of humanity and all of nature.

May you all rot in prisons as soon as possible.

And as for the rest of you? It’s time to shoot all cats on sight, everywhere. It’s the only way we’ll be able to get this problem under control now. Buy a rifle, go take a gun course, and start shooting. Wear gloves when disposing of the cat-carcass by incinerating it, or burying it deeply enough so its remains won’t infect any more animals nor humans. Either that, or catch every one that you see until your lands and neighborhoods are 100% free of any roaming cats. Then have it taken in to be tested and then disposed of. It’s your time and money. Which way do you prefer to solve the problem that all these useless piece-of-s*** cat-lovers caused for the whole world?

Tue, 17 May 2011 03:09:07 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25976So your idea of a “public service” is to destroy all native wildlife on the planet while letting cats spread all the deadly diseases they carry to all humans on every continent, as they are already doing. People like you should be sterilized, or locked up, or both.

In fact, shooting cats is too good for them. They should be made to starve to death like all the predator animals here did, or die a slow death while maimed and mauled, like all the prey animals they destroyed. But I’m not as inhumane as all cats and cat-lovers.

Apparently you also didn’t read the full post I made. It’s LEGAL to destroy your lousy invasive-species where I live. The sheriff himself is the one who told me to shoot them because trying to reason with the P.O.S. cat-lovers was going nowhere, for years. It is now also legal in MANY MANY OTHER PLACES as well. Check out Utah’s new state-wide law to shoot ALL stray cats. That’s what your misguided and misplaced love for cats has caused. THIS IS ALL *YOUR* FAULT AND THE FAULT OF *EVERY* CAT-LOVER OUT THERE. Now everyone WHO ACTUALLY CARES is left to clean up the disastrous mess that wastes-of-flesh like you have created for everyone and all life on this planet.

Sun, 15 May 2011 14:45:47 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25975Woodsman – You have got some serious problems and should be reported to authorities for the destruction you cause. You are despicable.

Cats need to be free to do their public service. Do you have any idea how many diseased creatures would be spread all around us if it wasn’t for them hunting them? Do you really have any clue? Shall you pretend that all would be fine if the cats weren’t hunting these creatures that spread and carry diseases that humans often die from? Do you care?

You are beyond rational thought or debate. You have these silly paranoid conspiracy theories and just generalize groups of people like some ignorant bigot.

I truly hope you are caught doing your cowardly criminal acts and are brought to justice.

Fri, 13 May 2011 03:56:21 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25974A little insight to help you with your war on cat-lovers and their cats. Maybe if you explain this to them you won’t have to use more drastic means.

I have come to the inexorable conclusion that the vast majority of cat-lovers and cat-owners that let their destructively invasive-species roam free, and those that defend the rights for feral cats to overtake public property and wildlife areas, are only (cowardly) using cats as a proxy for their own territorial behavior. Not unlike uneducated inner-city youth that will disrespectfully and inconsiderately use a boom-box to stake-out a territory for themselves with loud music. As long as they can have one of their possessions defecate in another’s yard and the yard-owner not have any recourse to do anything about it, the cat-owner owns that territory. It’s time to put a stop to them using their “cute kitty” excuse for usurping and stealing others’ property. If they want territory they can damn well buy it just like anyone else. Instead of using their underhanded, disrespectful, and manipulative means, putting (and sacrificing) live animals in the path of their envy and greed. Again proving why they don’t care about cats nor anyone else at all. Cat-lovers only really want your lawn, yard, or forest while making all others and all other animals suffer for what they can’t have nor own. Bottom line–they want to control you and your property. That’s all that “cat-lovers” are really after. It’s why they don’t care at all if their cat nor any other animals get harmed by their goals and (lack of) values in life.

Don’t ever bother wasting your time arguing with disrespectful, inconsiderate, and ignorant cat-lovers either, as I stupidly tried to do too many times in the past. Just do what needs to be done and there’ll be nothing to argue about. Case closed.

Wed, 11 May 2011 06:03:57 +0000http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/?p=27416#comment-25972This is just more of the anti-cat propaganda that’s been circulating for years in the highly insular and self-reinforcing world of bird-enthusiasts. I was at a university seminar today with Fish and Wildlife graduate students where it was freely discussed and admitted that there is NO credible data whatsoever on the number of birds killed by cats every year.

Intellectually honest people know that the bird species that are in decline (not all are, of course) are largely in decline because of loss of habitat, pesticides, herbicides, pollution, etc…, all things brought about by human beings. What bird-enthusiast organizations have discovered, however, is that they can get people stirred up by scapegoating and demonizing cats, who are seen as “soft targets.” Why does this work better? It’s because it’s so daunting and demoralizing to try to fight the massive assault being wrought on the earth’s ecosystems by human beings. It’s the same cynical strategy employed by churches who write that gay people are Destroying Marriage. They know that gay people don’t make straight people get divorced or break their marriage vows, but who cares? It brings in the donations and keeps the fanatics fanatical. It’s easier to have an enemy that’s not us.

Let me ask anyone reading the following questions:

Have you recently seen a cat cutting down entire forests with a chainsaw?

Have you seen a cat driving a tractor spraying hundreds of gallons of pesticides on a field?

Have you seen a cat releasing billions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico?

Have you seen a cat spilling radioactive waste into the air and water in Japan?

Have you seen a cat slashing and burning the Amazonian rainforest?

And finally, how could anyone be so hopelessly off-target and ethically depraved as to blame cats for problems facing wildlife when the real guilty party, by a huge margin, is mankind, urged on by our insatiable greed for the planet’s resources?

The problem is not cats. The problem is that the vast majority of people on the planet don’t give a damn either about cats or birds.
